Gorod 312 (Russian: Город 312, "City 312") is a Russian-language band from Kyrgyzstan,[1] formed in 2001. In the beginning of their career the band's name was "Mangra," but then they changed it to "Gorod 312." 312 is the area code of Bishkek, the city in Kyrgyzstan they came from. The band became famous in 2005, the year they released their first album 213 dorog (213 дорог, "213 roads"). The name of this album is the band's name spelled backwards.

Among other awards, Gorod 312 won two Golden Gramophone Awards for their songs.
